Abstract
A multiparty standoff system, arises from a confrontation involving quarrelling parties for which no strategy may exist for any party to achieve victory and the parties cannot withdraw from the conflict without suffering a loss (which may even include their demise). In a repeated standoff the parties are pursuing in rounds an aggressive attack strategy, which may involve selecting opponents and “repeatedly firing shots” whose success depends on a random adversary. Each participating party has been pre-assigned a probability indicating the chance a given shot will succeed against an opponent.
Eventually, every standoff terminates with the resulting system consisting in the limit (of the number of rounds) of isolated nodes. We consider confrontation strategies and analyze the resulting survivability of the participating parties. We investigate what strategy should co-operating parties follow so as to maximize the number of surviving nodes. We are also interested in what strategy should a given party (or group of parties) follow so as to maximize its chance of survival.
